2.27.08 Work Session


Work continues on the 101 Work Engine as the coupling is in place along with the new Eaton drive. The cable is for shifting the drive in forward or reverse.
The solid coupling we put on the shaft to elimate a coupling like the one on the other side of the fan. The side frames of the GP38 trucks degreased.
Dick Clark brought a table cloth for the card table we use for our breaks....Fancy aren't we? Dave Foster drilling the bracket for the air tank mount we reworked since the last session.
The bracket was drilled to match the bolts that hold the hydraulic fluid control for the engine. The tank mounted on the angle bracket with stainless steel adjustable strap clamps.
Dave adjusting the tank for best position before we clamp it down. Rick Nagy working on the new control panel installing the two pressure gages.
Frank Foti checking the throttle cable on engine 101. Joe Banzer checking the motor mounting bolts for tightness to make sure everything is all ready for Spring.
A close-up of the compressor switch we mounted below the tank. Joe tightening up the dummy brake rigging support to the hydraulic motor mounting plate.
The tank and compressor control as we mounted them among the existing control valve, hoses and compressor. Rick watching Dick adjusting a piece to assemble it into the control panel.
A view looking forward of the air tanks at the air regulator and hoses that are mounted underneath the seat cushion. A view of the control panel, that Dave fabricated, just before it was mounted in place.
